That’s what the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate VS Patil said in his order while giving the verdict on the 11-year-old case

Salman Khan knew the possible consequences of his rash and negligent driving. He knew that he could cause death but did not intend to kill anyone – these are the words of the additional chief metropolitan magistrate VS Patil who said that the 47-year-old superstar should be tried for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

On the night of September 28, 2002, Salman’s Toyota Land Cruiser, allegedly driven by him, rammed into a bakery in suburban Bandra, killing one pavement dweller and injuring four others. The trial in the case started before the Bandra magistrate court in 2006.

Salman was warned by his police bodyguard Ravindra Patil not to drive at a speed of 90-100 km/hr as there was a turning ahead and that they would meet with an accident if he did not pay heed to his advice, the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate had noted last week in his order. And now, after taking statements from various witnesses as well as from the police guard assigned to the superstar on that eventful night, the magistrate gave his verdict saying that Salman has not only offended the law, but even his social duty.

Salman’s lawyer Dipesh Mehta maintained that the actor would challenge the order. They are also likely to file an appeal against the magistrate’s order in the Bombay High Court next week. If convicted, Salman Khan will attract a punishment of up to 10 years.

The Dabangg hero will now have to appear on March 11 as the case will now be tried in a Sessions Court.

The Dabangg actor to appeal in Bombay High court against the magistrate’s order

Two days after the Bandra magistrate court accepted the prosecution’s plea to enhance charges against Salman Khan in the 11 year old hit-and-run-case, Salman’s lawyer has decided to challenges the verdict in Bombay High court. Spelling more trouble for the Dabangg actor, the court had ordered that the 47-year-old star should be tried for a more serious charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, and not death by negligence. It was said that if convicted, Salman could attract a maximum jail sentence of up to 10 years. The Bandra magistrate also committed the case to the sessions court for trial.

Petitioner Abha Singh had alleged that the police and the judiciary are working hand in glove to protect the actor, demanded an enquiry into the alleged delay in the trial. On the night of September 28, 2002, Salman’s Toyota Land Crusier, allegedly driven by him, rammed into a bakery in suburban Bandra, killing one pavement dweller sleeping outside and injuring four others.

Now Sallu has no option but to file an appeal in the Bombay high court and wait for the fresh rounds of trial!

Spelling more trouble for the Dabangg actor, a Mumbai court on Thursday directed that he should be tried for a more serious charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, and not death by negligence in the 2002 hit-and-run case

The provision – Section 304 of the Indian Penal Code – attracts a maximum jail sentence of 10 years. The Bandra magistrate also committed the case to the Sessions court for trial. Presently, Salman Khan is being tried under section 304 A – causing death by negligence, which attracts maximum jail term of two years.

In view of the graver charges against him, the actor would be required to appear before the Sessions court where the trial is expected to start on February 11.

On the night of September 28, 2002, Salman’s Toyota Land Crusier, allegedly driven by him, rammed into a bakery in suburban Bandra, killing one pavement dweller sleeping outside and injuring four others. The trial in the case started before the Bandra Magistrate Court in 2006.

According to sources close to Salman, the actor is planning to challenge the development in the Bombay High Court.

A magistrate court in Mumbai has ordered a detailed enquiry into the allegations of deliberate delay in the Dabangg star’s hit-and-run case trial

When Salman Khan was summoned by the court for the trial of his infamous 2002 hit-and-run case on December 27, 2012, which was incidentally his 47th birthday, the superstar did not turn up. Instead, his sister Alvira Agnihotri and Arpita Khan appeared in court with lawyer Dipesh Mehta to file a petition that sought an exemption on Sallu’s behalf. And surprisingly, this request was accepted by the court.

Petitioner Abha Singh, who had alleged that the police and the judiciary are working hand in glove to protect the actor, demanded an enquiry into the alleged delay in the trial. “He (Salman) is making movies and earning money but not coming to court,” said Singh about the actor whose SUV had rammed into a bakery in suburban Bandra, killing one and injuring four people who were sleeping on the pavement outside 10 years ago.

True to Singh’s claims, Salman was seen partying in the city even though the Mumbai police were searching for the star all over the city. Singh also said in court that the police had taken a good 24 days to serve the court summons to Salman, claiming that he was not in the city. The Dabangg dude was accused of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. But the Bombay High Court then reduced the charges to rash and negligent driving, which was challenged by Abha Singh.

And now a magistrate’s court in Mumbai has ordered an enquiry into the allegations of deliberate delay in actor Salman Khan’s trial. The Mumbai police in their reply have filed a statement in court denying any delay in the trial process. The court has set March 5 as the next date for hearing.

The team, which collected the Dabangg 2 star’s belongings at the airport, was shocked to find women’s clothes stuffed in bhai’s bag!

No, it wasn’t a case of Salman Khan trying to help his female co-stars (read Katrina Kaif, Preity Zinta or Sonakshi Sinha) carry their excess clothes in his bag. But when Salman Khan’s team opened the superstar’s bag that arrived at Hyderbad airport, they were aghast to find the 47-year-old actor’s bag stuffed with women’s clothes. The Dabangg 2 actor was in the city to perform at a show. But when Sallu arrived in Hyderbad, he was rendered absolutely clueless and utterly helpless to find that his entire wardrobe, comprising flashy clothes and accessories, had transformed into a women’s clothing collection.

It so happened that a fellow passenger in the Mumbai-Hyderabad flight that took off at around 9.30 am, took bhai’s bag and left hers behind on the conveyor belt. Salman’s bag was similar looking to that of the lady’s, who accidentally took it along thinking it was hers. Salman’s security head Shera, who had flown down to Hyderabad a day in advance to ensure that the security was in place and to receive the megastar at the airport, immediately took control of the situation.

While Salman headed straight to the venue, his team and airport authorities tried everything they could to trace the lady in question. Thankfully, they could find the lady’s contact number and informed her that the bag she was carrying was none other than that of Salman Khan’s. Even then the lady took a good two hours to return the bag to Sallu’s team.

Salman was finally relived to get his bag and costumes back. The same evening he grooved to some sensational numbers for the show. Finally, everything went according to the plan except the minor wardrobe exchange that created a big hoopla!
